I think they will look great tomorrow, with every game hey played without practice their cuts get weaker and weaker

When you have this many new guys and your older guys are being asked to do different things than they have in previous situations there is a learning process. The key word there is PROCESS.

That being said the practice comment was really telling and I thought last night really showed how these guys can look when they start building synergy and chemistry. That being said its a process, and the bad play and the fails are part of that.

Over the losing streak, it looked like they were thinking instead of reacting, then it led to breaking offense and more 1 on 1 ball.

Let's hope those extra reps and the feeling of victory translates over the next few games. The east is tough this year, it'll be hard pressed to get the younger players some much needed playoff experience with the amount of above .500 teams in the conference.

It's been said over and over....when you put pressure on the triangle, the players need to stick with it and counter otherwise it breaks down, and the team reverts to ISO and lack of movement. Last night was a good sign, and I want to see the same thing against a decent defensive team.

This is very true. Every team they've played a quality defensive team we've seen a lot of break downs in the offense. Atlanta, San Antonio, Cleveland games stand out in my memory
